DAVID CAMERON: I'LL CUT THE DEFICIT, NOT THE NHS

Over three years ago David Cameron spelled out his priorities in three letters – NHS.

Paul Campbell, Prospective Conservative MP for Warrington North added: “In a recent NHS survey carried out in Warrington by the Conservatives the main area of concern raised was the lack of NHS dentistry services. As part of the Conservative policies on the NHS I will continue to work to bring more of these services to the people of Warrington North.”

The Conservative Party has consistently fought to protect the values the NHS stands for and have campaigned to defend the NHS from Labour’s cuts and reorganisations.

David says: “As the party of the NHS, we will never change the idea at the heart of our NHS – that healthcare in this country is free at the point of use and available to everyone based on need, not ability to pay. Labour promised to save the NHS but today, despite the massive increase in spending, the gap in health outcomes between the UK and the rest of Europe has actually widened.

“We understand the pressures the NHS faces. In recognition of its special place in our society, we are committed to protecting health spending in real terms – we will not make the sick pay for Labour’s Debt Crisis. But that doesn’t mean the NHS shouldn’t change. When you’re more likely to die of cancer in Britain than most other countries in Europe – and when the number of managers in the NHS is rising almost three times as fast as the number of nurses – the question isn’t whether the NHS should change, it’s how the NHS should change.

“We have a reform plan to make the changes the NHS needs. Our reform plan, is based on the methods of the post-bureaucratic age – decentralisation, accountability and transparency.”
